The two factors of a quadratic equation can be multiplied to form the original equation. Let the missing term be a:
y² + 15y + 56 = (y + 7)(y + a)
y² + 15y + 56 = y² + (7 + a)y + 7a
We can now compare the coefficient of the like terms, either the one with y or the one without y, and find the value of a.
15 = 7 + a; a = 8
OR
56 = 7a; a = 8

Second factor is (y + 8)

Mario had a party on Saturday. For every 3 cups of popcorn, there were 2 cups of lemonade. There were 90 cups of lemonade on Sat
Hunter-Best [27]

Answer:

120 cups of lemonade

Step-by-step explanation:

3:2 * x = 90:l

3:2 * 30 = 90:60

90+60 = 150

150 / 5 = 30

1:4 * 30 = 30:120

Can someone pls pls help me?
vova2212 [387]

Answer:

i think 88

Step-by-step explanation:

(it's been a while since I've done this so I'm not too sure it's correct)

The formula we need to use is

2πr(angle/360)

we need the radius (r)

To get r we need angle AES

180-80= 100

using the equation from before

88=2πr*(100/360)

raidus: 50.42

Then to get the length CD we need angle DEC

180-80=100

2π*50.42*(100/360)=88

there probably was some kind of shortcut we could've used to figure this out faster but whatever

The difference of the square of a number and 40 is equal to 3 times that number. Find the positive solution.
Wewaii [24]

Answer: The answer is 8.

Step-by-step explanation: The first step is to convert the expression into figures. We shall call the unknown number Y. So if we are told “the square of a number,” that means Y squared, or better still, Y^2. Further we are told “the difference between the square of a number and 40” and that can be written as;

Y^2 - 40.

Next we are told that this expression is equal to 3 times that number (that is 3Y). That can now be written out as follows,

Y^2 - 40 = 3Y

If we move all expressions to one side of the equation, what we would have is,

Y^2 - 3Y -40 = 0

(Remember that when a positive value crosses to the other side of an equation it becomes negative and vice versa)

We now have a quadratic equation

Y^2 -3Y - 40 = 0

By factorizing we now have

(Y -8) (Y + 5) = 0

Therefore Y - 8 = 0 or

Y + 5 = 0

Hence, Y = 8 or Y = -5

Since we are asked to calculate the positive solution, Y = 8
